Two College of Mount St. Joseph students were killed Sunday evening in a head-on crash.

It happened around 7 p.m. in the 800 bock of Covedale Avenue, near the border of West Price Hill and Delhi. Police report 22-year-old Tyler Stiles was driving a 2003 Honda Civic northbound on Covedale when he lost control, went left of center and hit an oncoming Lexus head-on.

Stiles and a passenger, 22-year-old Michael Tepe, both died in the accident. According to Cincinnati Police, neither was wearing a seatbelt. Speed and alcohol appeared to be factors in the crash.

Tepe was from Springboro, majoring in social work and a member of the MSJ football team.

A prayer service was held Monday at Mater Dei Chapel for students and all the MSJ community to grieve and support one another. Students are also planning a balloon release at Schueler Field at 4 p.m.

Funeral arrangements will be provided as they become available.
